Known from middle Congo River basin (Ref. 188, 47399), specifically in Malebo Pool (Ref. 41585), Middle Congo River (Ref. 4910, 41590, 46880, 93181), Ubangui River (Ref. 1878, 1884, 2263, 45441), Uélé River (Ref. 41594, 42480), Itimbiri River (Ref. 122734), Aruwimi River (Ref. 41594, 122734), Lindi/Tshopo River (Ref. 122734) and Wagenia Falls (Ref. 42480, 46861).
